Query re DocBook, XForms and Document Assembly

This is a two-part question.  First, the current version of DocBook 
allows html:form elements to be used in DocBook documents.  Are there any 
plans to include a module using the new XForms specification?  

 

Second, regardless of the answer to the first part, is it possible to use 
the html:form elements in a DocBook document in a manner similar to 
document assembly programs (the most popular being HotDocs (www.hotdocs.com))? That is, is it possible to 
have a DocBook document that is a template containing optional provisions that 
are selected by the end-user?  For example, suppose you have a standard 
form of a sales contract that is used by a hardware vendor.  A document 
assembly program would permit a secretary (or whatever) to prepare a contract 
tailored to a specific customer and/or order.  Through a series of 
dialogues, the secretary provides the name, address and other pertinent 
information regarding the customer and the ordered goods.  In addition, the 
secretary may be given choices as to specific contractual provisions, such as 
product warranties.  The program would then "assemble" the document, which 
can be saved and printed by a word processing program.  

 

Any thoughts along these lines would be appreciated.
